Chapter 186: The First Clues

At the beginning of March, the emperor's decree came again, Dong Gongming, the governor of Qingyang Prefecture, was promoted to the right political envoy of Shaanxi Province to participate in politics, and Chen Yaoyan was appointed as the governor of Qingyang Prefecture.

When Di Bao arrived at the governor's yamen, Zheng Xunrui's expression was grim, and his and Xu Wanghua's predictions were completely accurate.

Yang Tingshu also wrote a special letter, faintly revealing his worries, because he knew what Chen Yaoyan had done, and the imperial court asked Chen Yaoyan to serve as the prefect of Qingyang Mansion, which was by no means a good thing.

Since the qi qi has come slowly, Zheng Xunrui also calmly faced, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing remarkable, what makes him feel sad is that the Ming court is facing so many problems, and the internal strife is still so strict, what hope is there.

Although it is said that Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Zheng Xunrui, is the official rank of the fourth grade, which is the same as the official rank of the prefect, but he is also the governor of Yansui as the imperial history of Zuo Du, and he directly governs Yan'an Mansion and other places on behalf of the imperial court, so he can directly lead the prefect of the four-rank official rank.

According to the rules, after Chen Yaoyan took office, the first thing was to visit him, the governor, or write a letter, but ten days passed, and Chen Yaoyan did not say anything.

The meaning of this is very clear, it is impossible for Chen Yaoyan not to know the rules of officialdom, but not to follow the rules.

Chen Yaoyan is conscientious in the position of the prefect of Qingyang Mansion, and Zheng Xunrui has nothing to say, after all, visiting this kind of thing is the unspoken rule of officialdom, not the official rules, the emperor hates the most is party strife, if those governors who are feudal officials gather all the officials of Fuzhou and counties, this is by no means the situation that the emperor wants to see.

Therefore, Chen Yaoyan did not come to visit, and Zheng Xunrui had nothing to say, at least he could not express his dissatisfaction.

Zheng Jinhong entered the wing.

"Zheng Jinhong, order the post station in Fuzhou County, Qingyang Prefecture, to pay attention to all the news at all times, and at the same time pay special attention to the words and deeds of Chen Yaoyan, the prefect of Qingyang, and report it at any time."

After Zheng Jinhong left, Xu Wanghua entered the wing.

Zheng Xunrui already knows that Xu Wanghua knows a lot of things and can make accurate judgments, at this time, he also needs to tell some of the past, so that Xu Wanghua can help analyze.

"Mr. Xu, Lord Chen has been in office for almost half a month, and there has been no news from Qingyang Mansion, it seems that many of your predictions are accurate."

"My lord, my subordinates also think it's strange, doesn't this Lord Chen know the rules, he has been in office for half a month, and he is basically familiar with the situation, at least he needs to report what he is going to do next, and he hasn't said a word until now, which is too abnormal."

"Mr. Xu don't worry, I said one thing, you know, Lord Chen has impeached me twice, the first impeachment was after the Nanzhili Township Test, my Township Test High School, and the family bought a thousand horses, Lord Chen was still in Nanjing at that time, impeached me for plotting against me, intending to rebel, the second impeachment was after I became the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, opened a warehouse to help the people, Lord Chen impeached me for using the grain of the government treasury without authorization, violating the rules of the imperial court, and also plotting against the ......"

Xu Wanghua's face turned pale, it was really the first time he knew about such a thing.

Chen Yaoyan and Zheng Xunrui are obvious opponents, in this case, why did the imperial court send Chen Yaoyan to Qingyang Mansion as the prefect, and Chen Yaoyan was in Nanjing and the capital to serve as a household department, this position is very critical, can directly present to the emperor and impeach the ministers of the court, although the rank is not very high, but the status is noble, enjoy the reputation of Qingliu, and will not go to the local office.

"My lord, even if Lord Chen has impeached the Lord twice, but at this time and then, Lord Chen is now the prefect of Qingyang Mansion, and he should know the rules if he blindly acts according to the previous practice."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, presumably Mr. Chen knows Lord Zhang Pu and Yang Yi."

"Lord Zhang Pu serves as the magistrate of Zhejiang County, and his subordinates know some, as for Yang Yi, his subordinates are not very familiar with it, but the Ying Society and the Fu Society they founded have a great influence, and now they are united with Donglin Academy, and they have a great momentum in the south, and even have a lot of influence in the imperial court."

"Well, it's enough to know this, I once cut off my robes with Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, and when I had a good relationship, I took the initiative to quit Yingshe, and Gu Menglin, one of the founders of Yingshe, basically didn't care about Yingshe's affairs because he was good with me, and there was another point, Zhang Pu once invited me to join the Fushe, and Yang Yi once invited me to enter Donglin Academy, but these invitations were all rejected by me."

Xu Wanghua nodded slightly.

"My lord said so, my subordinates understood, no wonder there was such a thing, Lord Chen's situation, my subordinates still knew a little, it was attributed to being a member of the Donglin Party, and it was one of the backbone members, the adults were unwilling to enter the Donglin Academy, and they were unwilling to enter the Fushe Society, and the trouble caused may not be small."

"Yes, I know it myself, but even in the current situation, I still choose this way."

"It seems that Lord Chen will not report any matters to the governor's yamen, if the subordinates guess correctly, there are still people behind Lord Chen, and he can get support in the imperial court, otherwise he will not be so reckless."

"What does Mr. Xu think I should do."

"This is indeed very difficult, if Lord Chen is doing things conscientiously in Qingyang Mansion, it is not good for adults to interfere too much, and the famine suffered by Qingyang Mansion is also strict, according to the character of adults, they will never abandon the people of Qingyang, so the governor Yamen still has to assist Qingyang Mansion, whether Lord Chen is the prefect or not."

"You are right, the contradictions between officials cannot involve the people, if the officials ignore the lives of the people because of their own selfishness, it is the behavior of beasts, and I will never allow such a situation to occur."

Zheng Xunrui said these words, Xu Wanghua stood up and saluted with fists.

"The lord's high style and bright festival, the subordinates admire it to the fullest, if the adults in the court can do this, the people will not suffer so much hardship, I am afraid that the rogue will also be in the land of five cones."

"Mr. Xu, don't say these words, think about it, is there anything that can control what Lord Chen did."

Xu Wanghua frowned.

"The subordinates can't think of any good way, if Lord Chen does things conscientiously and governs Qingyang Mansion very well, the subordinates think that the adults have nothing to interfere with, the only thing they can do is not to pay too much attention and praise, no matter how good Lord Chen does, he needs to be recommended by the governor's yamen, this point is still in the hands of the adults, since Lord Chen does not follow the rules, there is no need for the adults to follow the rules."

"Mr. is right, if Lord Chen is to do things with peace of mind, then it is the best, anyway, all the credit can be credited to the governor's yamen, and it has little to do with Qingyang Mansion, if Lord Chen is ingenious and makes Qingyang Mansion not stable, then don't blame me for being unkind."

Xu Wanghua's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help but speak.

"The adults are really direct, and the subordinates don't know how to answer."

"In the future, the discussion between you and me should be so direct, don't beat around the bush, guessing will be annoying, and it will delay a lot of things."

When Xu Wanghua was about to say goodbye, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.

"Sir, don't worry, there's one more thing I want to ask."

Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Xunrui, he knew that the question asked by Zheng Xunrui must be very critical.

"Chen Yaoyan, Zhang Pu and even Yang Yi, they can't be the masterminds, it's not that they don't have that ability, it's just that their positions are not enough, and their influence in the DPRK is not great, the so-called Tao is not the same, I have never thought about plotting against them, but they have frequently attacked, thinking about plotting against me, I can't bear it, can you predict what kind of person is the mastermind behind this."

Xu Wanghua's expression was a little stern.

"The subordinates really can't think of the mastermind behind this, the Donglin Party in the court, it should be said that there are a lot, but there are very few people in high positions, in fact, the emperor has also noticed this problem, and it is very taboo in this regard, and the head of the cabinet, Lord Wen, does not care very much about the Donglin Party."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, what Xu Wanghua said was the actual situation, Wen Tiren represents the Zhejiang Party, and there has always been a disagreement with the Donglin Party, and Chen Yuting, the representative of the Donglin Party, has long been impeached to Zhishi, it should be said that there are no Donglin Party members in high positions in the DPRK.

If it weren't for this reason, Zheng Xunrui would have been able to think of the mastermind behind it, but the current situation is a little confused, and after a few years, he didn't think about who the mastermind behind it was.

Xu Wanghua, who was about to do something, spoke again.

"The subordinates feel that the adults don't have to care about the mastermind behind it, there will always be a day when the water will come out, the adults are busy with the affairs of Yansui all over the country, and they don't have so much energy to take care of it, take a step back and say, even if the adults know who the masterminds behind it are, it is not good to take any measures now, it is better not to know for the time being, the subordinates believe that one day, the adults will be able to find out the people behind this."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and nodded.

"I understand what Mr. means, thank you for Mr. Reminder, in today's situation, it's better not to know, so as not to trouble yourself, but since they have shot again and again, then you have to blame me for being unkind, Mr. pay more attention to Chen Yaoyan's measures, I think he will definitely be different and do some things, he doesn't have the patience to carefully understand the actual situation of Qingyang Mansion, even if he can bear it, the people behind him can't help it."
